Negative Creep Lyrics

This is out of our range (x3)
and grown
This is getting to be (x3)
drone!
I'm a negative creep (x3)
and I'm stoned!
I'm a negative creep (x3)
and I'm ... (x2)

Daddys little girl ain't a girl no more (x6)

This is out of our range...

    To me this song is about sexual abuse. Some one who is on heroin (and I’m stoned) is looking for more pleasure turns to a young girl perhaps his daughter. Her innocence/childhood is ripped away from her (daddy’s little girl ain’t a girl no more). After that it happens again and again becoming a “normal” occurrence (this is getting to be a drone). Eventually he gets caught in the act or she tells someone (This is out of our range and it’s grown) but the damage is already done to her.

    Ik Kurt said it was about him being antisocial. I think he came up with a lot of bullshit to say as the actual meaning of the song to keep us guessing. It could have never had a meaning to begin with as well.

    This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway

    I don't know what Kurt's meaning of the song was but mine is about a girl who is classified as a tomboy (nothing wrong with that) and is constantly rejected by men because of her ways that are considered un "ladylike" (things like football). She has been going through these trouble all through high school decided to have a sex change you know "Daddy's little girl ain't a girl no more", just my opinion.

    This song kind of has its meaning within its title. The guy in the song is obviously someone who has a negative influence on those around him (with drugs and such hence "and I'm stoned"). He's getting bored with his life and drugs just aren't giving him the high they used to ("It's getting to be a drone). He's really not seeing that ther are so many things that are around him, and the things he does see are "out of our range." He doesn't see the good aspects of life he can gain. As for "daddy's little girl ain't a girl no more," that probably means that his negative influences have affected someone around him, maybe not his daughter (that could just be a metaphor), but some girl who looked up to him, and got into a bad way of life, who was written as a transsexual. They might've gotten into the lifestyle he was in, and the drugs messed with their mind, making them do things like that.
